In Bigfoot Society, I've taken far too much of your time so far, so let's get on with the show.
Starting point is 00:02:31 All right, Bigfoot Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Wayne from Iowa today. He's got some very interesting stories that have happened, of things that have happened to him over the years. His son reached out to me and said, hey, you should talk to my father if you get a chance. So gave him a call. How's it going, Wayne? It's going all right. Perfect. So your son, Lance, was saying that you guys were, you were having a yard sale and you got to sharing a very interesting story about something that happened in the 1970.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Yeah. Yeah. I saw a what I thought must be a dinosaur. I'd never heard of such a thing still being alive, but, but anyway, I was, at the time I was living in the Quad City to work for a tool company. And I lived, I was some to morning. And so I, I, um, used to travel back and forth from the Quad Cities to Des Moines frequently. And in about, I don't know exactly which year it was, but, you know, judging by the kids' ages, it had to be around in 174, 75, right in that range. And on the way from the Quad Cities to Des Moines one time, on Interstate 80, I was heading, towards the morning and
Starting point is 00:04:08 I don't recall exactly where it was. It's about halfway back, I guess, something like that. And there was a freeway bridge going over the freeway and I was about how probably I don't know, half a mile
Starting point is 00:04:25 from the bridge when I first saw something and I thought, what the heck is that? And it was huge. And it was black and it started flying off the bridge and I go, what the heck? I got close enough to it that I recognized what it had to be.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I almost thought maybe it was something made up or something, but it was alive. It was something, it was a teradoccal, and I know a tarotctal, I saw one, I think, because I've always been kind of interested in dinosaurs and different types, and I've got several DVDs that, you know, pertained to dinosaur items. And so anyway, this huge bird-like creature came off of the bridge. It was sitting up on the top, and the closer I got, the better I could see it,
Starting point is 00:05:30 and I go on this, this can't be. It's not going to be real. was real and it took off and it was huge. I don't know. It was at least probably three-quarters of the size of a small Cessna airplane, I'd say. And it was black and it had wed wings and the feet hanged down and it had the beak on it. and I, you know, it was a teradoctile. I mean, I know sounds kind of silly, but that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I know it had to be because it flew away and I got to see it pretty darn close, you know, because I was going 75 miles an hour on the freeway and as I got closer, I slowed down a little so I could pay more attention. But the thing was so huge, it just climbed a high. off of the bridge, you know, flew off of the bridge. And I said, God, I don't understand. It doesn't seem possible, but it's a taraductal. And that's what it was. I mean, it had to be.
Starting point is 00:06:49 And it was a live animal flying. And it wasn't, it was somebody playing a joke or something. If there's nothing else around at all. and you know you're out in the country on a bridge overpass over the interstate 80 and it was real what it was and how it could be still alive I don't know but this thing was alive it was huge it was black and it it had to be a territorial I mean And since then, after that, you know, I looked at a couple of pictures of Teradoptera to make sure I wasn't crazy. And I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:07:36 It looked exactly like the picture. So I know that had to be what it was. I don't know where it ever came from. But that's about the only strange thing like that I've ever seen. But it certainly was amazing. And my wife was with me and she saw it too. Oh, really? Yeah, so, you know, I had the wife and kids.
Starting point is 00:08:01 The kids, I think, were asleep in the back in the car, but my wife saw it. I said, good God, look at that. And she said, yeah, I've never seen anything like that. You know, that's a paradox. I know it sounds stupid, but that's what it is. It has to be. So anyway, that's what I could tell you about it.
Starting point is 00:08:26 That's about all I could tell you. I mean, never seen anything like that before in my life. And so... Have you ever seen any... Have you ever seen any pictures of, like, the Van Meter Visitor or Mothman or any cryptids like that, Wayne? We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors.

Well, Lance showed me a couple pictures of my son Lance showed me a couple pictures he had of those. But it didn't look like that. the I don't know there's something
Starting point is 00:11:10 man whatever you said there it had manlike features on the body and stuff
Starting point is 00:11:16 and this this was a bird I mean it was it well like I said it's a
Starting point is 00:11:24 pterodactal so gotcha did you notice any like interesting crests or horns
Starting point is 00:11:31 on the head of the teradactal oh boy you're asking me remember something
Starting point is 00:11:37 that years ago. Right. Almost 50 years ago, yeah. It had all the features at a time because, you know, I never told a lot of people about it because I was a young businessman and I didn't want people think I was crazy. So I never talked about it a lot. But it had a long beak on it and, you know, the head of a tear it off,
Starting point is 00:12:05 and it had webbed wings. The wings were webbed. And when it spread it out, when they spread out, it was huge. And it took off and it seemed to have very little or no trouble flying. You know, it took off. And I got pretty close to it because I kind of slowed down and, you know, tried to stay in visual sight of it for as long as I could.
Starting point is 00:12:39 But it took off them the top of the overhead bridge. It was on the railing, I think. I mean, I don't know. I'm sure that's where it was because it looked like that's where it was. So anyway, that's what I saw. It was big and black. and had legs. It had a long beak.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It had webbed wings, and it was huge. Wayne, that's absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing that. I know you've been holding on to that story for a really long time. Your son also said it would be interesting to ask you if you would be willing to share about the possessed guy with red glowing eyes. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Here what now? He said you have a story about a possessed guy with red glowing eyes. Oh, yeah, that was a human being. Yeah, he was, he's always,
Starting point is 00:13:50 he lived down the streets from me and we were always kind of friends, but he was a pretty strange individual. I don't know. there was many things that were strange about him. He was very introverted and, you know, just strange. And, you know, one time we were standing out in the backyard, we lived on an area that was built into the World War II.
Starting point is 00:14:20 So these were fairly small houses, you know, two and three bedroom houses that were small. and we were standing out in the backyard one time and it was getting dark and so I don't know we got talking about the Bible and about different things that were you know strange happenings
Starting point is 00:14:42 and stuff and and I noticed as I looked at him his eyes started getting red and they got real dark red and and I, you know, I said, well, what are you doing, Mel?
Starting point is 00:15:03 You know, and he said, well, you wanted to talk about things in the Bible and stuff. And he said, I guess that's what we're doing. And that's, you know, I don't remember much of what he said because I was kind of, you know, shocked to see his eyes turn red. And they did. And, you know, and he talked about a couple things about the devil and about evil things, you know. And I said, well, I've got to go, so I'll see you later. And I took off.
Starting point is 00:15:45 But his eyes did turn red. There was no question about it. And so it was just something pretty strange. And he was a really weird individual. I mean, if you knew him, you go, I wonder why he acts like he does and does what he does. And I remember when he got drafted for Vietnam, and he took off and went to Canada. And he lived up in Canada the rest of his life. And I had very little contact with him after that.
Starting point is 00:16:24 but his whole family was kind of strange. His dad, especially his dad was kind of a little bit like him. And I don't know too much about what they did religiously, you know, and stuff. But I just know that he got talking about stuff that I didn't really want to talk about. And he got red and everything, and I just thought, I'm going to get out of here. so I didn't stay very long. You probably made the right choice. If a guy's eyes start glowing red,
Starting point is 00:17:00 it's probably time to check out. I don't know if he tried to draft me and to go along with him on stuff or not, but he was a strange duck, so I just wasn't interested in what he was selling. Absolutely. It's interesting how certain people will have certain reactions
Starting point is 00:17:22 to biblical topics versus things like that. But I think you made the right choice, Wayne. But I don't want to take all your time. I really am appreciative of you chatting with me for a few minutes. Thank you so much. I know my listeners will find it very interesting that there is a pterodactal siting in 1974-5 between Des Moines and the Quad Cities.
Starting point is 00:17:46 So thanks so much, Wayne. All right. Thank you. Have a good one. Bye bye. Here at Bigfoot Society, our goal is to provide a platform for those that have encountered Bigfoot to share their encounter in a safe and respected environment. But we need to hear your story.
